《Story of Yanxi Palace》E45
45
The emperor went to Zhongcui Palace to see Concubine Chun. Concubine Chun was playing the piano. When he found the emperor, he quickly got up to greet her and said that in the past month, the emperor had only summoned his concubines to sleep with him, and he had rarely seen him.The Emperor's concubine Zhichun does not blame herself, saying that whenever he sees her, she is always so gentle, considerate and considerate.Among all the beauties, she is the most comfortable because she never makes demands.Concubine Chun thought that Jinchuan had won a great victory, and the emperor had something on his mind, and she didn't understand why he was still frowning.Concubine Chun said that she should also tell her concubine the news, so that she would also be happy.Fu Heng went to the battlefield, and his concubine must have been worried about him. If he knew that he had returned safely, he would be relieved. The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart and left.The emperor wanted to go to Yanxi Palace, and after thinking for a while, he returned home.Yingluo tossed and turned, remembering the scene when she saw Fu Heng.Yingluo walked on the palace road, everyone was talking about it, and Yingluo asked Mingyu to inquire about it.Concubine Jia's confinement period has expired, and Lan'er persuades her to go out for a walk, saying that if she stays behind closed doors, she will not be informed. There is news in the palace that has spread throughout the palace, and now it is the concubine who is being laughed at.Concubine Jia knelt outside the Yangxin Hall to see the emperor, but the emperor was missing.Li Yu helped to plead for mercy before the emperor agreed to meet him. Jia Concubine kept admitting her mistake to the emperor.The emperor painted a new garden and planned to give Fu Heng a new house inside Dong'an Gate. He also named the yard himself, but he had not yet decided on a name for the garden.Jia Bin suggested that it be better to call it Yujing Garden. I heard that Master Fucha ordered people to go to various places to collect valuable gardenia varieties. He must have loved this kind of flower very much, so it is very appropriate that the garden where he lives is called Yujing Garden.The emperor was furious and accused Concubine Jia of making insinuations and slandering her concubine.Concubine Jia said that even if the emperor kills her today, she must tell the truth that her concubine is sorry for the emperor.The emperor was furious and told Concubine Jia to leave.The emperor went to Chengqian Palace and asked the queen if she had ever heard of rumors circulating in the palace recently.The queen asked if it was about her concubine and Fu Heng, and she believed that it was inevitable that the emperor had been doting on his concubine during this period, which aroused jealousy in the palace and led to gossip.The queen assured the emperor that she would investigate the matter thoroughly and bring justice to the concubine.The emperor ordered that from now on, anyone who talks about this matter will be killed with a cane.The emperor had never gone to war over a woman, and the queen intuitively felt that Yingluo was not a simple woman. It seemed that Concubine Chun had a rival.Mingyu accompanies Yingluo for a walk in the imperial garden. Mingyu has already inquired about the rumors about Yingluo and Fu Heng that have been circulating in the palace recently.Yingluo knew that this would explain why the emperor did not come to Yanxi Palace.Yingluo met Fu Heng while walking. She didn't shy away. Fu Heng had something to say to Yingluo and asked her why she didn't wait for him to come back.Yingluo interrupted Fu Heng and said that if she wanted to be a concubine, she would rather be the emperor's concubine. At least she would be superior to others. Fu Heng did not believe what Yingluo said at all.Yingluo asked Fu Heng if he knew about the rumors outside and asked him to stay away from her.On that day of heavy snowfall, Fu Heng and Er Qing stood together like a couple. From that day on, Yingluo swore to herself that from now on, she would cut off their love with a sword and not recognize each other again.Fu Heng couldn't help but think about it or not care. In his heart, Yingluo was not the emperor's concubine, but the Yingluo in his heart was the stubborn and righteous Yingluo from before. Yingluo said coldly to her.Concubine Chun deliberately lured the emperor here, and happened to see Yingluo and Fu Heng together.Pearl was bullied by Lan'er from Chuxiu Palace. Mingyu was very angry when she saw that Yingluo was not in a hurry. Now that Yanxi Palace has become a cold palace, even the people below are following suit.Desheng came to take the necklace of gardenias and went to Xunyong Lane. Everyone was talking about it.The young eunuch stole property and was caught by Mingyu. Yingluo said that she knew she had lost favor, so she wanted to steal the property of Yanxi Palace and sell it.The young eunuch begged Yingluo to let him go, but Yingluo discovered that there was a handkerchief embroidered with gardenia flowers in the package he stole.Mingyu learned from Hailan Chana that Concubine Chun had prepared a gift for the Queen Mother, and Yingluo said that her opportunity had come.Concubine Chun told the Queen Mother that the Queen Mother longed for the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. There were no bridges and flowing water in the Forbidden City, so she imitated the appearance in her memory and asked the eunuchs and maids to open a palace market. Although there was no Yangliu Yiyi and the flowing water was gurgling, there were still wine flags flying., pedestrians are like weaving, and they have the right to please the Queen Mother.The emperor said that he would personally build Suzhou Street for the Queen Mother. The queen suggested that every concubine in the palace should start by donating jewelry and property for charity. Of course, since it is a charity sale, it cannot be limited to the palace. The stalls should be set up outside the palace gate.The silver that came was used to pay for the casualties.The emperor and the queen mother agreed.Yingluo pretends to be a bartender, making the Queen Mother smile and attracting the Emperor's attention.The emperor went to Yanxi Palace in the evening. Mingyu told the emperor Yingluo that the emperor felt that he was not suitable, so there was no need to bother. The emperor said that Yingluo was smart.Yingluo deliberately imitated Jia's concubine, and the emperor asked her what she wanted to do.Yingluo imitated the queen's rhetoric again, which made the emperor laugh.Yingluo told the emperor that rumors could confuse the public, and three people could become a tiger, so she hoped that the emperor would give her more trust while pampering her.Otherwise, no matter how strong she is, she will be turned into tofu by their spit.The emperor said that among the harem, the zodiac sign Yingluo was the most jealous and always came to tease him.
